Fantastic helmet

Posted28 February 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

I have a very big head and was concerned that the large would be tight, but it's a really comfy fit with room to spare if I wanted a cap underneath. The magnetic visor locates really easily, so is easy to take on/off while riding. Don't be fooled by the lack of ventilation, the design works really well to draw air over the top of your head and keep you cool. A great helmet.

Great helmet for a good price

The helmet is comfortable with the ventilation also being very good. The visor fits on easily and looks awesome when down! The aero benefits are noticeable at higher speeds whilst the helmet is also very light.Overall its a great product and i would definitely recommend it.

Good lid, comfortable, quiet, something different

Posted25 February 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Comfortable, Looks great

Ordered both Medium and Large online and although the M did fit, it was at the largest setting on the rear dial, so kept the L.

Very comfortable shell/padding although the chin strap is a bit annoying to start with, doesn't sit flat. Having said that, when you get going you shouldn't really notice it.

I often start my ride in the dark and will wear clear lens glasses with the visor up and there's plenty of room when you put the visor down to keep the glasses on. Haven't found a good way to get glasses into helmet vents so tend to keep them on or stick them in my jersey pocket which isn't ideal.

Rear support feels a little cheap/sharp plastic and took some adjusting on first ride to get it comfortable.

I live in a hot/windy country and have a Catlike Mixino for when the temperatures jump but this is a great early morning/"winter" option. It's significantly quieter than my other lid (unsurprisingly) and I don't think it would be an issue with overheating if riding in UK, on all but the very hottest of days.

Will keep the shield for solo rides/TT, turn up to a group ride with it down and IMO you'll look a right dafty.

Very good helmet, versatile, not perfect.

Good helmet but visor connect lets it down

Posted19 February 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Looks great

Cons: poor visor connect

I bought the helmet after reading the reviews on here.To start with the helmet fits OK, there are two points that connect to my head without padding and whilst this isn't uncomfortable I'm wondering what it will be like if and when I hit my head.

The visor for me is an issue as I'm now without mine. I was riding along at approx 15mph and went to wipe my nose and knocked the bottom of the visor with my finger, it wasn't a large knock, quite gentle actually but enough to dislodge the visor. The wind then took it into the opposite lane where it was smashed by a car going the other way.

The design here is at fault, there should be some sort of retainer for the visor so that if it is dislodged then it doesn't crash to the floor damaging or destroying it.

When going uphill with little wind, you will find it gets hot. Remove the visor and you will cool down. If like me you now don't have a visor then this is not a problem.

Light and comfortable

Posted17 February 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight

Cons: Unattractive

Light and a good fit. The visor is excellent quality and the magnetic attachment is really strong, it feels totally secure.

Perfect fit.

Posted16 February 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

This is a great lightweight helmet You forget you have it on your head. The visor is attached with magnets which are very strong, this also means that you can take the visor off whilst still wearing the helmet and attach it to the top of the helmet without taking the helmet off. so no fiddling around.

Plenty of vents to keep your head cool and an adjustable component at the back to make it fit your head just right.

If you look around too you can also purchase a clear visor for the helmet.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

If you are thinking about it don't, just buy. You will not be disappointed. Excellent value, superb quality item with fine attention to detail and fit. The visor is versatile i.e. on/off, down or up and provides plenty of clearance if you wear specs

Its the best helmet I have worn to date its light to wear cut thought wind the only thing I would say trying to get hold of clear visor for dark nights they do not have any in stock.

feel secure, clear visor

Posted30 June 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, great visor

Cons: Expensive

Very good quality helmet. I find Giro usually a good fit .Slight area of discomfort near the centre rear - but only slightly. Rotating knob for fit system excellent.The magnetic visor is the best feature . Very clear, doesn't mist, easy to remove & store upside down on helmet. Comfortable having no glasses sides ! Great feeling of security in it . You will sweat in it, but a breeze is channelled well in the top. Looks wise I suppose it is slightly odd ! Not sure about aero benefit but think it does help.

Great fit, light, smooth but poor chin strap

Posted17 April 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

Cons: fiddley catch

This is a well designed and mostly well made helmet. It is comfortable and light. The visor give good vision, and for Triathletes eliminates the need to fit goggles in transition. The straps and catch are not up to the standard of previous Giro products. Though expensive it is not a pricey as many of its competitors.

Does what you want

Posted09 June 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight

The helmet fits well & is nicely vented, a well designed visor which is clear and cut out for ventilation, no steaming or sweat on the visor soot is better than the helmet / glasses combo. The magnetic visor / flip around feels secure and clips in well

Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight

Cons: Expensive

Bought this helmet instead of a traditional tempo helmet as I can use it bought for time trails and ordinary racing. The helmet is very light and comfortable to wear. It is difficult to judge the aero-effect of the helmet, but it feels faster and is definitly more quite than my ordinary helmet. I am also very happy wtih the shield which gives a better view than using goggles when you are in a racing position.

Excellent concept for helmet design

Posted03 June 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

The first time I wore the helmet, I fell in love with it. Very cool to wear for a compact helmet. Considerably lightweight for head comfort and...wide vision even with the presence of its shield that removed the discomfort of having used to wear glasses. Versatile design for road and time trial use. Magnets helped a lot in securing the shield on the helmet. I can't think of any cons for the moment as I am enjoying the helmet.

The best helmet

Posted27 May 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

Got mine last week, and have done about 200km in it.

Beside what it looks like, this is a cool helmet. I haven´t felt any warmer in this then I did with my last one (mega vented Catlike). Ok, it´s warmer when you´re not moving but the cooling is great on the road.

I don´t use the visor since I need RX glasses, but I´m planning to buy a clear shield and use it on rainy days.

The fit is spot-on, you forgett you have in on.

It´s also the the most quiet helmet I´ve tried, especially in strong winds.

Hard to say anything about the aeroness, but it does make sidewinds less noticeable on your head

lightweight ,extremely comfortable lid

Recently purchased Air Attack and what can i say !! .. first impressions looks great, light as a feather and extremely comfortable .. Excellent cradle system which keeps the helmet off the top of your head which allows cool air to flow through the helmet and i can honestly say that during a 5 hr ride my head didn't overheat once .The visor has got top notch Carl Zeiss optics , the visor itself attaches to the helmet via 3 magnets which keep it in place even on the fastest descents , field of view is excellent with no infringement ..Excellent , extremely aero helmet and well worth splashing the cash on if you are looking for for a new lid .. QUALITY
